Easy Fruit Salad with Orange Poppy Seed Dressing

I found a recipe for an easy fruit salad with orange poppy seed dressing on Damn Delicious and decided to make it. My family hasn’t been eating as much fruit as we should lately, so I was hoping this fruit salad would help and be a nice side dish for a recent dinner. The local berries were sweet & tasty on their own, but combined with tart kiwi slices, fresh mint, and an orange poppy seed dressing made an extra-special fruit salad. This easy fruit salad recipe was a big hit and paired nicely with grilled chicken skewers and potato salad.
